A Married Masher Brought to Grief In

BoNNE TERRE, Mo-, Sept. 21.-Quite a
sensation was produced here by the
reading from the pulpit OF the Catholic
church OF q letter, addressed by a member
Of the congregation to a lady who has
been employed by Father Walsh, the par
ish priest, in the capacity of h~ousekeeper
for a number OF years. For several days
past the matter has heen vaguely whis-
pered around the town, but up to the
time of Father Walsh's public exposure
OF it nothing reliable could be learned.
1t now appears that about a week z
the lady In question, who bears an nm
blemished reputation, received a note
proposing q clandestine meeting, and re-
quasting that. In case she scceded to the
proposition, she should signify her ac-
quicsence BY appearing on the street
wearing a red ribbon.
The lady vas not only shocked but
alarmed by such q proposition, and at
once laid the matter before male friends
whom she could trust. She was advised
as . means OF detecting and exposing the
scoundrel, to- appear upon the sstreet
In the manner suggested. The Iecherous
Lothario, who proved to be one I. j.
Bison, a married man, snd a member OF
Father Walsh's church, readily fell into
the trap; but whom he put in an appear
anoo ut the designated time and place,
instead OF the lady on whose virtue he
placed so light an estimate falling into
his arms, he fell into q stout pair of mas
outline arms that welded q heavy horaa.
whip with q dextsrity and energy that
Instantly banfshed his amorous dreams.
Bison has disappeared, and public senti-
uent Ia very bitter against him, .especi-
ally In view Of the fact that the lady
bears q character above suspicion.

MR.. CLARKE STATEMENT
lie stated that DR. Roy came 20 the
Christian Association rooms yesterday
morning about8 o'clock He introduced
himself What transpired Mr.. Clarke
was undar pledges not TO divulge.
I'm reply to a question, he said that Dr.
Roy was neither under the influence of
liquor or looked ike a man demented.
He understands, however, that be Is sub
iect to fits of melancholy
DR. Roy's wife brother and friend OF
the family arrived ON the 1929 am. train
from New York dr. Roy is now in their
charge. and will return home as soon as
practicable Mr.. Clarke desired it 10 be-
stated that the reason be did not talk 10
the reporters last night was because he
was under these pledges No man ac-
knOwledges his obligation 90 the press
more. and no one would oblige them
quicker than he in q legitimate way. and
when il was i'm his power 10 do so.
Dir. Roy is better to-day than on yes
terdav. He and his family are very much
amazed at The publicity given to the un-
fortunate affair, and desired 20 have as
little more stated as possible IL is In de-
ference to them that this account is
abridged. The sum of the matter is That
he is in Richmond, in comfortable home
with his wife and brother, and In very
fair bodily and mental health with good
prospect of speedy restoration TO perfect
health.
Dr. Roy had never met Mr. Clarke until
Yesterday morning, and simply went there
because il was a Christian Association
and he had been directed there as strang-
er and an almost friendless man in a
strange city
